Meet Our New Student Leaders
At the 2010 International Convention, students elected a Student Representative (SR) and an Associate Student Representative (ASR) for each of the six Regions. Read their personal introductions, along with those of our 2010-11 Student Advisors (SAs), Lauren Brandeberry and Anna Morgan.
- Meet Student Representatives (SRs) and Associate Student Representatives (ASRs)
- Meet Student Advisors (SAs)
Regional and Alumni Newsletters
One of the SR's and ASR's primary responsibilities is to produce their region's biannual newsletter. You don't want to miss the spring issues that include regional news about your new student leadership, upcoming events, the 2011 Common Reader (Black Ice, by Lorene Cary), original works by members, and more.
Links to the spring alumni newsletter and all six regional newsletters can be found in the left column and on our home page www.english.org.
